First off, let me explain about the wacky array of pictures you are about to be subjected too witness. I got up nice and early to take them, when it was too dark this morning. Then I took some of them this afternoon, in the yard, when it was too light! Well, I came inside and snapped a few more and decided beggars can't be choosers.
When I bought this fabric, I really wanted it to be something for my table. I guess it is the cherries. I just love how the soft blue and watermelon-pink play together.
This is the center block, which has an extra border to set it off.
I enjoyed tinkering with my decorative stitches and different thread colors. Each of the end blocks is bordered with this floral vine that is probably my favorite decorative stitch.
I tried hard to capture the little pearly blue polka dots on the binding.
No amount of lighting changes could capture the soft washed out blue batik backing fabric. Since I was keeping this piece, it had to have a scrappy back, even though I had enough batik fabric...weird huh?
I love how the decorative stitching fell on the back!
Really like the thread color change on the back too!
The original panel for the cherry print had 15 blocks. Since I only used 3 for my table runner, I put the others to good use. This sweet baby quilt maybe the first quilt I sell.
Used that floral vine, but kept to only pink thread.
I used a machine feather stitch on the inner block. Love those bunnies too!!
The sashing and the backing are white one white, and I love how it makes the pink quilting thread look!
I also have this Nicey Jane blouse that I am trying to finish up. The scraps are already cut into charm squares though. (Does that make another WIP?)
W.I.P.s:
1. Nicey Jane Blouse.

Oh, the runner and quilt are very sweet! I love soft colors like that.
ReplyDeleteI keep saying I need to do the WIP posts...I have way too many WIP and maybe that would motivate me :)

KT, these are beautiful projects!!! I especially like how those decorative stitches look on the front AND the back of the runner and quilt.
